Welcome back from break everyone! For your blog post assignment this week, you will need to read the file on OWL-Space titled “Lincoln Documents on Slavery, 1858-1865.” You should see the file as soon as you log into OWL-Space and click on the tab for our course. As I mentioned in an earlier email, I’d like you to think about these questions as you read the documents:

1. What does Lincoln think about slavery?
2. What does Lincoln think should be done about slavery?
3. What does Lincoln think about race?

For your assignment, select TWO of those questions and write a post discussing how the answers to these questions are related. That is, how are Lincoln’s ideas about slavery related to his ideas about what should be done about it? Or, how are his ideas about race related to his ideas about slavery? And so on. Be sure that you cite specific examples from the documents that illustrate your points.

This blog post assignment will be due at the usual time, this Thursday morning, March 10, at 9 a.m. See you in class tomorrow!
